/**
 * Annotates the parameter of a {@link DaoFactory} method that indicates the table to create a DAO
 * for.
 *
 * <p>Example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * &#64;Mapper
 * public interface InventoryMapper {
 *   ProductDao productDao(@DaoTable String table);
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * The annotated parameter can be a {@link String} or {@link CqlIdentifier}. If it is present, the
 * value will be injected in the DAO instance, where it will be used in generated queries, and can
 * be substituted in text queries. This allows you to reuse the same DAO for different tables.
